Thomas Lyons Obituary

To the Lyons Family:
Our deepest sympathy to all. We
are former Chicagoans and were
associated with many cousins
(Farmar-LeFevour)families.

To the Lyons family: Norma and I were deeply saddened to hear of Toms passing. He was very simply a good guy and was most kind and helpful to me. Lunching with Tom and my father was a real experience--my father impatient, Tom, at ease and relaxed, in no hurry. He will be missed.

To Ruth and the entire Lyons Family:

Please accept our condolences and know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. May he rest in peace. God bless and take care.

My prayers are with Toms family.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences of the loss of your father and our distinguished public servant.

From the Lorenz Family
Justice Francis S. Lorenz (Ret.)

On behalf of the entire "Con Con" family, I extend our condolences on the loss of our great Vice-President. Tom was one of the most important members of the convention and ALWAYS exhibited dedication to our task. Many other members have told me that one could "go to the bank" on Tom's word. He was absolutely solid.

On a personal note, Tom represented my family in the State Senate, and we were proud to have him there for us.

To Tom and Family,
My deepest condolensces in your time of sorrow. Your Dad gave back to humanity and Cook county, and the world is a beter place that he was here.

May God hold him in the palm of his hand until you see him again.

My sincere condolences to the Thomas G. Lyons family and many friends. Tom and I served together in the Illinois Attorney General's office and I remember him as a sincere and kindly gentleman and was proud to count him as a friend.

To the Tom Lyons family we are very sorry for your loss and you are all in our thoughts and prayers. May the Good Lord Always hold him in the Palm of His Hands.
Rest in Peace Ranger.

The 45th Ward, and the Democratic Party were your life's passion, and the people you served. God Bless and Thanks for all you did.

Thinking of you Frank & Mary Pat and your entire family. We're here if you need anything!

So sorry to hear of your loss. I did not know your father personally but have been hearing about him for years - he has obviously left you with quite a legacy. I hope your sadness lessens and is replaced with wonderful memories of a great father and friend.

I was saddened to learn of the loss of my friend Tom. A wonderful husband and father and a great civic leader.

Tom Lyons was a thinker and a doer. He always tried to help people who had difficulty helping themselves. He made many, many calls to try and help my son-in-law (whom he had never met) get a job within the State of Illinois in order to care for his son. Tom was about helping those in need. I shall always remember him as a gentleman and friend. Those in Springfield who knew him will miss him dearly -- especially during the Legislative session. Rest in peace, Tom as you have served your maker well.

Dear Frank & Family,
Our prayers are with you and your
family.
